Nice save Dean. Good reference video for the future. Sometimes the littlest things are the biggest mystery. I miss Enco they had some decent prices on their products. Thank for the video and Happy 4th.
I did the same on one of my drill chuck two weeks ago. But the cup shape part on the screw is broken, so my drill chuck became an artefact. But you have a nice win here. Back on track again.
Couldn't make it this year.. conflicting family plans. I did get to meet Clark E. and Mike W. traveling with Keith R. up here two days after. That was nice.. And I won a wiggler in the raffle 👍👍
Amazing repair Dean. You used that important tool in your arsenal called Patience. Your mechanical skills are first class. Thanks for the video and enjoy the 4th of July with your family.
Not sure why people say it's difficult to rebuild these. The only thing I find hard is finding one place that has everything you need to do it. Don't know if it's because I've rebuilt many vehicle axles, but setting up pinions isn't hard. I have several friends with outdrives and they say I'm the only guy around that will touch them. I myself have talked to a few marine shops close to me and they all said they won't touch them. Funny how as a non-marine mechanic I get swamped fixing them around when boat season really kicks in. Nice video. I was looking for a video with a complete breakdown of a dp-d1 because the one I'm working on currently seems to be missing pieces.
I like this video! I also like the finish you get with your shear tool. I'll have to check previous videos to see how you grind that tool. My little SB 7" is coming along. The more I "play" with it the better I'm able to get nicer finishes. There is still room for improvement regarding the finishes, but I'm getting there. BTW, when is my turn with the Corvette, make sure Chuck keeps the tank full. KOKO! (borrowed from ARW. Hope he doesn't mind).
Beautiful machine. I just grabbed an original 1930''s Atlas 7 myself. I'm in the process of rebuilding it. I'm curious if the base and table of the Atlas 7B would fit on the original 7 so I can convert it for additional rigidity. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting question / idea.. 7B base is longer but I think the machine body may match. I think the table had an open bottom on the original. Thanks Sky !
i don't think my shaper can go to .010 step over. I believe the gear is too coarse. I will test it. Its always set at .035 step, usually .035 depth. I use a wide tool, its 5hp.
It's not always easy to tell on the video, but look at the lead screw vs the ram direction at 0:34 I'm still learning tool geometry for the shaper, any tips are most welcome.. Thanks for viewing, ATB....Dean
@@TheAyrCaveShop The feed moves the tool into the material. As a result, the chip is not cut off, but torn off, as you can see in the video. In addition, the rake angle of over 45° is far too large, it should be a maximum of 5°.
I got a good deal on a Clasuing 8520, everything was well oiled, paint was well chipped but no rust at all on the machine. Once you clean up this mill it will be a fun small mill to run. I really like mine and it’s great for smaller spaces.
Thanks for the nice comment Alex, I just sold it at a good price to a local guy. Finely came to conclusion I had too many projects and not enough time. He was very excided and plans on performing a full restoration. All The Best...Dean
Here we use both shiv pulley. That is an impressive air compressor set up. Why didn't you put single phase motors on? That square D control looks like a water pressure switch. Take care Dean
Hi Randy, Yeah we can pick up used commercial 3-phase motors around here dirt cheap. And I'm already setup with a proper VFD. Single phase motors are harder to come by, especially decent ones and the quality ones are crazy expensive. Funny that pressure switch might be a water one, I don't remember where I got it, but it works great! Thanks Randy, ATB....
